Hi everyone
In my last post I talked about my trail camera and how I set it up near a Badger set well turns out it might be abandoned but we got a couple of videos of a rare duck called a Shelduck. Shelducks lay their eggs in burrows in the ground. We got some footage of one just checking if the old badger set was safe to lay it’s eggs in! cool right.
here is the video IMAG0025
We checked on RSPB.ORG UK and Shelducks are on the amber conservation [list which means their numbers are in decline but they are not yet at the highest risk of extinction] so we’re lucky to see one! especially as they normally live on mudflats and estates and we were up a big hill in a wood near Terregeles!
Here is more information about Shelducks and they have a very funny call which you can hear on this link https://www.rspb.org.uk/birds-and-wildlife/wildlife-guides/bird-a-z/shelduck/
We are now brainstorming ideas about where else we could place the camera…id like to find a badger, fox or deer. each time we have taken the camera up to this badger set we have seen some Roe dear near by.
See ya

Very cool Joe! What a clear video as well, thanks for sharing that with us.
The RSPB website is fantastic, I always find great information on there!
Good luck finding the other animals on your list.
Joe that was brilliant! Such a great video. And how cool that you managed to get a fairly rare bird, well done.
I’m excited for future animal clips.
Great work Joe. I like a bit of wildlife spotting.
Wow! Where did u put The camera?
That was an amazing clip
My Nana used to live at Mabie forest there is lots of badgers at night time. They used to come in Nanas back garden for left over dinner.
